Game crashes trying to launch (PC)

#1

Post by AwsmCrprs »

I recently bought the PC version of TheoTown on Steam, but when I click play Steam shows it as running for a few seconds before stopping. I've checked, and the Java instance shows up in task manager for a few seconds in sync with Steam's 'Running' message. After trying a couple things from these forums and the Steam Community page, I couldn't get it to work.

Here's the crashlog that generated in C:/Users/-/TheoTown:

Hi, I downloaded the game about an hour ago and after installing it, found that the game crashes for me after the downloader has finished checking the files.are there any known solutions for this?

@AwsmCrprs hi, I am sorry to hear that. Ensure that you have the newest graphics drivers installed on your device. I will allow the game to use software rendering if the driver signals that it doesn't support OpenGL; that update should be available within some hours. However, that might have some performance drawbacks.

@Mikhaylbum do you get the same error as AwsmCrprs?

Apologies if I just add my problem here, the log looks quite similiar. I have no graphics card on this machine, os is Win7. It did work on another laptop without a graphics card. Hope there is a way to get it running, the kids love it ;)

Hi Phil,

based on that the Laptop doesn't have a graphics card I assume that it is running on integrated graphics. In that case please ensure that you've installed the newest drivers for your chipset. How old is the Laptop and what CPU is it using? If you have no Java installed on your PC it might help to do so as the game uses an integrated one otherwise that might cause trouble.
